The Dominion of Jesus: Fulfilling Old Testament Prophecies

In this article, we explore the significance of Jesus as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies and the establishment of His dominion. The Old Testament contains detailed prophecies that provide every necessary detail to know Jesus as the Savior and Lord long before His arrival.

God’s Faithfulness Throughout History

God, a master storyteller, accomplished His promises throughout history. The celebration of Christmas and the advent of the Messiah revolve around the extraordinary acts of God. These acts are not limited to the birth of Jesus but encompass His entire work of redemption and salvation.

Psalm 72: A Prophecy of Justice

Psalm 72 reveals an often overlooked prophecy that emphasizes God’s concern for justice. This messianic prophecy portrays Jesus as the righteous King who will bring justice to the poor and defend their cause. Jesus fulfills the role that Adam, our first parents, failed to accomplish – to exercise dominion over the Earth as image bearers of God.

Establishing His Dominion

Through His redemptive work, Jesus establishes His dominion from sea to sea, drawing all nations to worship and serve Him. All authority has been given to Him, and He calls us to disciple the nations and spread the Gospel. Jesus is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, with the power to bring salvation to the ends of the Earth.

Recognition and Worship

The New Testament authors understood their position in the world and recognized that Jesus is now establishing His rule over the entire world. The Book of Jude confirms Jesus’ dominion and calls us to worship Him.

Let us celebrate the Christmas season by acknowledging the dominion of Jesus, who fulfills Old Testament prophecies and brings salvation to all nations. Merry Christmas, everyone!
